Animal Eyes.

Have you ever boea enough of natural.
list or had natural curiosity enough to study
the changes of expression in the eyes or
face of an intelligent bird or quadruped !?
1t is really fascinating employment, even
if one confines ones observation to the
flashes OF the eyes alone. You can posi-
lively read thoughts as well as character
and sensations in the pupils of horse, deg.
cat or parrot, more accurately than the
most pretentious savant can decipher hu-
man bumps or palms. Among the pets of
the observer is healthy, clipper little
gold-6nch that can sing like Patti, and hat
can actually converse with its roguish,
twinkling eyes. Butithe most consciously
ludicrous expression | ever saw in the feat
ures of brute was that of a mai med cat
which noticed under the sidewalk book
stall near the Temple Court buildiug
recently. 1t is large and well kept mouser

having deprived 1t of paw and lower joint

gracefully it paused and tried to scratch

Protective Agencies for women.

The good work done by the PRO
tective Agencies for Woven and Child
rem is beyond all praise Collecting
wages that would Otherwise be kept back,
saving girls who are in Danger of being
en- iced away, looking after deserted wives,
defending women from fraudulent agents
who pro fess to sill sewing machines on
the instalment p ANAL these and many
other ways of helping and defending those
who need it, are employed by the Pro-
tective Agencies. The greatest trouble
is in securing punishment for criminal
assaults. The committee of the Chicago
Agency say: There seems a general
disposition on the part of police justices
to look apon rape as venial otfense,
deserving about as much punishment as
larceny, and to regard an attempt at
criminal assault as a mere piece of dis
orderly conduct, for which a fine is the
proper penalty. Our suits are dismissed
upon what seem to women to be the most
frivolous presexts; or, when the offenders
are convicted. the sentences imposed are
so light that we cannot wonder at the
constant recurrence of similar crimes, or
the frequent insults to which the most
virtuous women are subjected upon our
! Streets"
The only way TO have these crimes
against women punished as they deserve
is to have women share the aw-making,
| power. No class is protected that cannot
protect Itself. The vote protects When
all she women who are engaged in benevo-
| lent but half-futile endeayors viii make
common cause with the suffragsts in
their demand for the ballot las many OF
them already do); it will not be long before
we obtain it. Ii is well IN the meantime
to circulate petitions for protection to
young girls; but this would certainly
1 soon be secured if women had votes and
could serve on iuries. Lucy Stone.

AWAY.

Away from the tumult and passion,
Away from the care and the strife,
Away from the folly and the fashion,
PervadiDg the city 5 gay life;
Up to the brow Of the mountain,
To the wind-ruf1ed breast of the lake,
where the deer Stakes his thirst at the fountain,
Where the quail whistles loud in the brake.
With his sleek, faithful dog for companion,
with gun that is trusty and true.
%, ye wealthy and great of he nation,
He would not change places with you;
Here, pleasure and plenty await him,
The partridge is beating his drum,
The shrill whist ing all is the fifer
Whose music is bidding him come.
Here. in the sweet haunts of nature,
How poor seems mans life, how dehled,
Back to the heart of the hunter
Comes the peace that was his when child.
Far from the toll, and the tumult.
Far from life's sorrows apart.
Here. in the depth OF the forest.
Are treasures for hand and for heart.

Ca.es of seeming Insoxicatlon.

A farmer, ffty-four years old, man OF
wealth and character, whose father was a
drunkard, but who himself never used any
kind of spirits, showed symptoms of in
toxieaiion after meeting with an accident
from runaway horse. At the funeral of a
child, some months later, his family were
greatly mortified at his silly language, stag
gering gait, and other marked symptoms of
intoxication. A year later similar attack
followed the burning of some buildings on
his farm.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 22.-The Var
dalia express train due here ct 5 o'clock
last night met with an experience at the
village of Greenup, Ill, that caused much
alarm and delayed the train some time.
Shortly after dark the conductor discOv-
cred five tramps stealing a ride end Ct
Greenup he ordered than OF the train.
When the train again started the tramps
again boarded il snd were fOrcibly put
OF, Whereupon they opened 1usilade
from heavy rev0lyers. Many shots struck
mail and passenger cars, and the bullets
in many instances passed entirely through
the cars, coming uuCOmfOrtably close to
the heads and bodies Of the mail clerk
and passengers. The passengers sup
posed this was sn attack from robbers,
and greR- confusion resulted il the rush
to conceal vsIuables. The conductor
stopped the train and party gave chase
to the tramps, who fed to the woods.
Owing to the heavy caliber5 of the re-
vOlgers it is now believed that this party
intended to rob the train, and were frus-
trated by being discovered so early in the
evening near large settlement. No one
was injured by the shots

100 Doses One Dollar
NOrWOou's Denial


The Register of Sunday morning con-
tanned an Sccount of q conversation with
Mr.Abe Norwood, the atii5nced husband Of
the unfortunateMiss GenieWatkfns, which
that young gentleman hjG,Gd at 8 theory
fer the attack on Miss Watkins, based or
the desperate infstuEtion With which his
personal charms had inspired q young
lady soj0urning in Dallas. IL the CONVEX
satiOn MIR. Norwood tod how the lady in
question pursued him with the free Cffer-
ing Of her love, and how he repealed her
advances. The DGllas News Of yesterday
morning contained an interview With Mr.
Norwood in which ne denOuncen the reg
ister's report as false. Th&t report was
absolutely true. The conversation &C.
Cured just as given in the Register, with
the single exception that instead Of Mr..
NOrWOod'S statement being made to
third party it Wss made to q Register re
porter. l. was printed as coming from

10y the benefit OF whatever doubt might
arise in the minds OF the people. But it
occurred in the presence Of the reporter
who wrote it up ard the account ss given
is correct IN every particular. And Mr..
Norwood knew when he was talking that
he was talking to reporter, Tor he was
so informed. Mr.. Norwood asked the
scribe if he was g detective, and was told
no, that he was @ newspaper man. The
interview was not particularly Of the

cisties, as we'll IS in attempts at prohibit
tory law. Saloon lien in other business
would not meet such prejudices.
But THE GAzETTE's purpose is to direct
attention TO the popular tendency. This
paper believes that the Texas Democracy
acted most wisely when il declared regu-
lation to be non partisan, and lett the
people untrsmmeled; and those news
papers and those orators who are seeking
to array the Democracy as such, in this
contest, are most unwise. As long as the
people feel that they are free to
deal with the traffic, as they have right
to deal with that which buys from the
people its license to exist, the people will
deal with it without diminishment of
partisan loyalty; but the Democracy no
more than Republication csn afford TO
shut its eyes to the growing resolve Of
the people. With consummate wisdom
the Texas Democracy has said "hsrds
off," and it will be en- evil day when
blind party masters shall drive the party
to stand between the people and their re
solve. Revolutions nsver go backward,
and Texas Democrats will De fortunate if
they can forever keep all police regula-
tons out Of the book of faith and tests Of
party fealty.

When Coke talked about sCOurging the WAGE

anticipated that the day was hard by when the
preachers of the whole state would take up
